9:46am Parq:

I'm off to try to make it through the snow to work. If I'm not back on the playlist comments by the time Doug signs off, send a St. Bernard with a flask of whiskey. If you can figure out another way to send the whiskey, you can skip the dog.

9:48am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
It might have been Bob Dylan who called Karen Dalton "the Billie Holiday of folk."
